Re: FLORIDA CENTRAL TRACK REHAB

The Florida Central Railroad track rehabilitation project stepped into full swing last week. Extensive machinery and crews will be installing new rail from Plymouth to Eustis. Once complete, they will turn around and repeat the process on the opposite track as they head south.

There will be temporary and intermittent disruptions lasting 30-40 minutes where a crossing will be inaccessible. When this occurs, every effort will be made to minimize the closure. Our contractor is working closely with all of the affected cities, counties, and emergency responders along the route to coordinate any crossing closure or activity that may disrupt traffic or cause delays to the general public.

We appreciate your patience and support as we seek to improve the road crossing and our tracks.

FNOR held a Clean Sweep event in April that even brought out our President for a full day of transforming the grounds. Better housekeeping leads to better safety! Quite a day.

AKMD received word today that they won the annual ASLRRA award recognizing innovative service and marketing! AKMD has been on the receiving end of this award numerous times over the years but it is still a thrill each time. This year's recognition was related to our handling of aluminum ingots.

Way to go AKMD!

Congress is going to vote on increasing truck size and weights this week. Monster trucks weighing 97,000 pounds and up to 100 feet in length may be coming to a road near you!

Help stop bigger and longer trucks by sharing this video http://bit.ly/NoBiggerTrucks and making sure everyone who hates the idea of heavier trucks further damaging our nation’s roads and highways not only sees and shares the video, but calls on Congress to PUT THE BRAKES on huge trucks.

Please forward this video to as many people as possible then contact your Congressman by calling 1-855-284-4874 and tell them you are opposed to bigger trucks.
